I'd sum up above with following..

High IQ + Right Mindset/Attitude = Great success and happy life.

High IQ + Wrong Mindset/Attitude = Complete failure possible also dangerous to society. eg. Hitler

Low IQ + Intense Practice and Right Attitude = Great success and happy life
eg. James Watson, the discoverer of DNA, has an IQ of about 115 — about the IQ of most college students.
He claims that his great success was due to his persistent curiosity, something not measured by IQ tests.


Low IQ + Right Attitude = so so success but happy life

Low IQ + Wrong Attitude = failure and end up in jail

I would like to give example of
William James Sidis, He was the highest IQ person ever lived.
Sidis "easily had an IQ between 250 and 300".
Also He is the famous example of "High IQ and Wrong attitude"
He didn't contributed anything long lasting good to the world.
Einstein and Edison had lower IQ than this guy !!


If all of us have powerful internal resources, why do so few produce exceptional results? Why is it that only a handful in every society or country are able to generate brilliant ideas, stay focused and motivated, take consistent action and produce a level of success we can only admire? The difference lies again in the way we use our brain. Or waste it.

Your thoughts, behaviors, abilities and skills are determined not by the number of brain cells you have, but rather by how your neurons are connected together. All of us have different neuro-connections and that is why we think and behave differently.

If someone you know is extremely good in numbers, it is because he has a lot richer neuro-connections in the area of mathematical-logical thinking. At the same time this person may not be very confident in the way he communicates, because he may have poorer neural connections in this different area of intellect. The same goes for our emotions and habits. If you are always lazy and unmotivated , it is because your brain cells are wired in such a way that you consistently fire off negative emotions like procrastination. People who are constantly focused and motivated have a very different set of neural patterns wired up in their brain. The kind of neuro-connections you have now is determined by how your brain has been exposed and stimulated, even before you were born. Your neural patterns began developing twenty weeks from the time of conception, in your mother’s womb.
The good news is that if you have insufficient or ineffective neural connections in any area, you can create more useful connections through stimulating your brain in the right way and creating the right kind of mental patterns. You can also reprogram limiting patterns such as phobias and bad habits.

Research into the brain has shown that in a lifetime, the average person uses less than one percent of the total number of possible neural connections that can be formed in their brains. With 1000 billions neurons, each having the capability of making thousands of neural connections with one another, the total possible number of connections, if permutated, would be far in excess of the number of atoms in the universe. In other words, there is nothing the human brain cannot achieve, with the right strategy and stimulation.
